Project Details

This project involved replacement of the existing Barnett’s Run Road Bridge over Barnett’s Run. The existing structure was a single lane concrete slab bridge on reinforced concrete abutments. The new structure is a two-lane, precast concrete box culvert having a 22’-0” curb to curb width and a clear span of 28’-0”.

Safety of the adjoining intersection was increased by widening the structure to accept two lanes of traffic. The chosen structure pushed the limits for the size of box culverts. By pushing the envelope with this project, the Township saved over $150,000.

We have teamed with Keller Engineers on several design-build projects for PennDOT. When selecting a designer, the more critical factors are trust and competence, more so than a low price. If your designer makes a mistake in quantities it can cost you a lot of money. We have stayed with Keller Engineers because we trust them to provide competent service at a competitive price. S.
